Very friendly fairly easy. Very helpful when moving offered me a list of apartments to look into. Thorough interview with different parts of the team I was to be working with at the time
Average interview
Application
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PPD
Interview
I submitted an application online and had a phone interview within a couple weeks. I had an in person interview a week and a half later and met four supervisors for the department. They had a number of formal questions each but were overall very laid back and seemed genuinely interested in my background and what I was looking for in an employer. I was offered a position within a few business days, but it did require a background check, credit check, and drug test first.
Panel interview with three people then the director. Only one person at a time. One interview was technical questions, others were typical interview questions. Started with a “tell me more about…” from your resume.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What’s the difference between gram negative and gram positive bacteria?
I applied online. I interviewed at PPD (Richmond, VA)
Interview
Was not very well put together. The interviewers were essentially falling asleep as soon as they came in. It was not a good experience overall. The interview process is long, with interviewers who don’t engage with the interviewee.
